Johnny M Riddick

I came to see Mr. Riddick about a really complex matter involving my family business. I inherited my parents' business which began in 1954. My father died, then my mother. When my mother passed the business was left to me. The business is a large funeral home. During the Christmas season ...of 2025, I went to see Mr. Riddick about an issue which was threatening to destroy the business. At the time, I was represented by another attorney, but as my case progressed through legal proceedings, I felt no confidence in my attorney, none whatsoever. I decided to discharge the lawyer, but did not have another lawyer to step in. So I went to see Mr. Riddick, who I had used in another type case about twenty years ago. I remember he did a great job, but I didn't think he handled cases like the one I was involved in. Turns out I was mistaken. I went to see Mr. Riddick just seven days before my case was set for trial. Now, he gave me a piece of his mind for waiting so late to consult him, but after listening to me explain my situation, and seeing how stressed I was, he told me he would help me. He took my case. Mr. Riddick promptly filed a really complicated motion in the case, and we ended up having a couple hearings prior to the actual trial. During the trial, Mr. Riddick took the case to the opposing lawyers (there was more than one), and I mean he fought them. Mr. Riddick has a very nice and respectful personality, but trust and believe, he is coming for a fight on behalf of a client. At the end of the trial when we left, I told Mr. Riddick that he had done an excellent job. We just received the Judge's decision today. We won. I put my million dollar multi-generational family business in his hands. And Mr. Riddick handled my complex case fabulously. When I first went to Mr. Riddick 19 years ago, he handled a 3 day trial AND an appeal when the opposing party didn't like the trial verdict. Mr. Riddick won the trial and he also won the appeal. Back then, his daughter was in high school. Nineteen years later, she is an Associate working for her father. And her work was invaluable in helping Mr. Riddick prepare for the trial. And once again, he won. Moreover, Mr. Riddick treated me well. Great legal work!
